White Ghost Shivers
Sun, Sep 17, 4:40 PM BMI Stage Stage
Ever wonder what was so great about the Great Depression? Not a damn thing, really, except for maybe the music. You know campy Vaudeville, hokum blues, hillbilly swing and all that sexy hot jazz? That was fun stuff. Given that the state of the country and world as a whole can be kind of depressing these days, too, dont we deserve some of that good stuff, too? Austins White Ghost Shivers sure seem to think so, which is why the talented young band has spent the last six years dishing out their wildly inventive take (through both covers and cheeky originals) on the music that rocked their great-grandparents world. With lead vocal duties split between a 7-foot-tall, banjo-playing beanpole named Shorty Borgasm and the sultry, ukulele-packing Cella Blue (likened by Fort Worth Weekly to a one-woman burlesque revue), well, you just know youre in for a good time at a Shivers show.
